Kristen I love this...I have noticed all your flower posting on facebook they are all really good. I really like this as is. tells us how you got this affect on the image #10781100Kristin Duff July 26, 2013
Well... you folks know I don't do photoshop so this photo is right out of the camera except for a bit of sharpening. It was shot with a telephoto lens as I was actually out to get birds that morning. f5.6 1/20sec 170mm ISO100 ...the sky was over exposed but the flowers were perfect...this kind of shot is a very happy accident! #10781575Dale Hardin July 26, 2013
I don't think it's an accident that you get good photos, Kristin. You do it all the time. Beautiful image. #10781626Jeff E Jensen July 26, 2013

thanks Jeff! #10782212Susan Williams July 27, 2013
I really like the composition and complementary colors, Kristin. I'm with the others. Just goes to show that on some days a blown sky can be your best friend. It's rare, but no accident. #10782680Stephen Shoff July 29, 2013
My favorite flower pictures so far have been taken with my 300 mm telephoto lens -- just because of the impact of the shallow DOF. You did great, here, Kristin. #10785945Beth Spencer July 30, 2013
I have to agree this is Beautiful!! You did good! #10788951Kristin Duff July 30, 2013
Thanks Stephen and Beth! #10789009Debbie E. Payne July 31, 2013
Kristin -- Yes, I, too like this image and on rare occasions get one that comes out with a white background. It's like getting an unexpected present. I like what you did with the frame here as well rather than just separating the two whites with a fine stroke. #10789598Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
